Sounds like Ebola has a longer incubation period than 21 days
IMO, 21 days is very conservative.

The difference is, of course, that the mortality rate for that R of 1.5 to 2.0 is 70%.

each person who has gotten sick has spread Evola to only about two others.
If that math is true, and the average person with Ebola gives it to two people... Then this country better hit its knees and pray to the Lord for His mercy from the holocaust that we are about to experience.

It can be longer than 21 days

The doctor in this case followed policy.
What is it about that fact you do not understand?
no the common sense the I speak of would be if you aren't feeling 100% don't go fricking bowling.

Spencer, whose name was not mentioned during the news conference at Bellevue Hospital, left Guinea on Oct. 14 and arrived in the United States three days later, said Mary Travis Bassett, the city's health commissioner. During his travels and upon arriving in New York, she said, "he was well with no symptoms."
He checked his temperature twice daily, she said, and "began feeling somewhat tired" on Tuesday. On Thursday morning, she said, Spencer began to develop a fever, at which point he contacted Doctors Without Borders officials. Soon thereafter, he was transported from his residence in Harlem to the hospital in Manhattan.
I am going to go out on a limb and say he was not contagious (given present info) since he didn't develop the fever until after he got home from bowling.

Those without any known exposure to Ebola are told to monitor their health for a 21-day incubation period, according to the organization.?
Monitor their health for 21 days is the policy and he did that. According to the WP article he didn't have the fever on wed night when he went bowling.

What if they have no symptoms, no fever and decide they need groceries? There is no scientific evidence that they can pass on the disease.
Then WTF is this?
"Did the Dr exercise good judgement, no"?
Either he was contagious or he wasn't.
He obeyed ALL policy to the letter. To the letter.
Assuming the policy to be appropriate, he exercised perfect judgment.

I've lived 30 years in a community devastated with HIV. I can't count the number of friends who have died from it on my hands and feet. One was my ex when I was in law school and who would later become one of my best friends who passed away two years ago. We had dinner on a Thursday. The following Tuesday he was dead. Looked as healthy as an ox and had first been diagnosed about 10 years ago. I've lived my entire adult life accepting that it could happen to me. And while I've been very fortunate, there's still a far greater chance that I will be infected by HIV than Ebola.
That's a lot of personal information you're hitting us with. Do you have the HIV virus?

This shouldn't be an ideological issue, but just look how this board breaks on this topic. The reason why is the federal government has grossly underestimates how easy this disease can get here. Once identified, we have done a good job containing it.
The question is does the government want Ebola to continue coming into the states or not? Because it sure seems like they don't mind allowing it into the country. A doctor working on Ebola patients should be quarantined for 30 days. A 21 day time period has always seemed too short of a time period. Now, what is it going to take for us to get serious about the disease because the government still doesn't realize the panic this causes. Yes, it's overblown but they set the expectations so low of this disease even making it to the US.

ok and he didn't have symptoms (according to present info) and according to current research he couldn't transmit the virus yet. So whats the problem?
